People and entities involved in real estate benefit the most from an influx of outsiders moving to an area, so of course they want high census counts and little to no resistance to their plan.

UNreal estate is a social term which describes the process through which a shady broker,landlord or property manager uses fictional or false information when listing anything permanently affixed to the land, such as buildings, specifically property that is fixed in location, for sale or rent on classified ads placed within the public realm. Said process could involve the offering of property which is not available (otherwise known as bait and switch), listing false characteristics of a property or just completely fabricating an entire listing.
Craigslist is so packed with UNreal estate garbage ads these day that I might have never found an apartment if it weren't for the Loftninja!

A variation on the concept of real estate, screen estate is the total display area of the monitor(s) connected to a computer, and a subject of bragging rights for computer geeks. Like with real estate, the more/bigger, the better: computer geeks agree that you can never have too much screen estate.

The term Fourth Estate refers to the press, both in its explicit capacity of advocacy and in its implicit ability to frame political issues. The term goes back at least to Thomas Carlyle in the first half of the 19th century.
None of our political writers ... takes notice of any more than three estates, namely, Kings, Lords, and Commons ... passing by in silence that very large and powerful body which form the fourth estate in this community ... The Mob.3
